It was a warm, sunny day. J was playing outside on the neighbors toys, per usual. Our neighbor came outside with her kids and started up a conversation. It began normal enough with "How are you?" Then she asked me a life changing question.
"Do you like to coupon?"
Those were fatal words for a mother who is doing everything she knows how to be frugal. She added me to a Facebook group of fellow couponers. There were interesting posts about what some good deals were and then I saw it. A woman had gone into the store about bought somewhere around $290 worth of products and paid less than $50.
After that I have been hooked. I signed up for the papers, I printed coupons from www.coupons.com. I joined several review websites. I was going to start saving money!
Today was a win. I bought only stuff we had run out of. I got bananas for about $0.25 a lb and I got a lb of strawberries for $1. Friday is when I started and I have saved almost $75 using coupons and apps.
I have just begun this journey, but I am excited to see where it will go.
